Albums of Purgatory interview Diferential

Whats the band up to right now?

RIGHT NOW DIFERENTIAL IS WORKING ON ALL NEW MATERIAL AS WE SPEAK.

How would you describe the bands sound?

DIFERENTIAL SOUND IS MIXED WITH A HEAVY, DARK, GROOVE STYLE.

How did you get involved with the band?

I (DANNY MARTINEZ VOCALIST/GUITATARIST) STARTED DIFERENTIAL BACK 1YR AND HALF AGO. THAT'S HOW LONG WE'VE BEEN GIGGING ASWELL.

Can you remember your first gig (how did it go)?

OUR 1ST GIG WAS AUG31,2001, IT WENT GOOD , BUT FOR US ON STAGE, THE SOUND SUCKED. WE COULD'NT HEAR SHIT.

Are you involved in any other projects. If so how do they compare musically to diferential?

NO SIDE PROJECTS WHAT SO EVER. DIFERENTIAL DOES NOT BELEIVE IN TAKING TIME AND EFFORT AWAY FROM OUR HEART AND SOUL. IF YOUR IN DIFERENTIAL, THEN THAT IS THE ONLY BAND YOU WILL BE IN UNTIL YOU QUIT OR GET FIRED.

What are your favourite Diferential tracks?

BEFORE DAWN, DAMAGED LIFE, DESECRATE, ALL I DID TO THEE, DARK AGES, SHIT I LOVE THEM ALL, I CAN'T PICK ONE.

What are your favourite all time songs?

UNION OF THE SNAKE BY DURAN DURAN, FUNNY HUH. SHIT I STILL LIKE DURAN DURAN. I'VE SEEN THEM 5TIMES.

SHOUT AT THE DEVIL FROM MOTLEY CRUE. THE FUCKEN ENERGY FROM ALL 4 MEMBERS , TOMMY, VINCE, NIKKI, AND MICK. I STILL LOVE THE CRUE.

THE UNTOUCHABLES BY KORN, I LOVED IT. I LOVE THE HEAVY POWER IN THERE MUSIC. HEAVY ASS RYTHEMS AND JOHNATHAN DAVIS CAN SING HIS ASS OFF.

What would be your dream band lineup?

MYSELF, MY TWO BOYS , JESSIE AGE 5, NOAH AGE 4 AND MY DECSEASED OLDER BROTHER JESSIE.

If you could cover a song on a bands tribute album what would you choose?

I RAN , FROM THE FLOCK OF SEAGULS. I LOVED THE KEY BOARD AND THE WAVE OF NEW MUSIC FLOCK OF SEAGULS HAD BACK IN THE 80'S. THEY WERE WAY AHEAD OF THERE TIME. I WOULD REMAKE THAT SONG WITH A HEAVY SLIPKNOT VOCAL PATTERN.

What do you think of the position of metal and music in general today?

I LIKE IT, I DON'T THINK THAT TODAY'S METAL PEFORMERS THRASH ASS MUCH ON STAGE AS THEY DID BACK IN THE 80'S AND 90'S. BUT TODAY'S METAL REALLY DOES HAVE AN HEAVY ASS EDGE TO THERE GUITARS THESE'S DAYS.

Which other bands stand out for you at he moment?

GODSMACK, KORN ,SLIPKNOT, MACHINEHEAD, DRAGONLORD, TESTAMENT, EMPEROR WHEN THEY WERE STILL TOGETHER AND DIFERENTIAL OFCOARSE. HAHAHA.

Do you have any funny stories about the band you can share with us?

WELL, A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE PAST ON STAGE, I WOULD BE THRASHING AND DOING VOCALS THROUGH A WHOLE SONG AND NOT KNOWING THAT THE WHOLE TIME , I NEVER STEP ON MY PEDAL TO TURN ON MY DISTORTION. SO THE WHOLE TIME I WOULD BE THRASHING AND THERE WOULD BE NO FUCKEN GUITARS COMING OUT OF MY AMP. LUCKLY THERE'S TWO GUITARIST IN MY BAND HUH. HAHAHA

What do you see in the future for Diferential?

I SEE DIFERENTIAL PLAYING ALL OVER THE WORLD WITHIN THE NEXT 2YEARS AT THE LATEST.
